Torian

Torian2 July 2021

Torian might seem shy and reserved at first, but don’t let that fool you. She can be quite the opposite! Torian tells her caregivers where and when she wants her food. She will sit patiently in her corner sucking her thumb while they serve the other chimps. When she’s ready for her turn, she looks right at them and appears to signal “NOW!” If their timing is off, she will simply take her share of food from her best friend Tiffany, who easily gives it up. Her caregivers then give Tiffany Torian’s portions. That’s what friends are for! 

Torian is a habitat-lover and seems to love running around looking for the perfect tree branch to use for fishing snacks out of the termite mound. Very few chimps match her determination to get all the goodies out of the tubes. She loves to explore North Peachtree Habitat in all kinds of weather and chooses to stay out until the last possible minute before coming inside for dinner. 

Lately, Torian has been even more mesmerized with the chimps in Chimps Ahoy because of the new arrivals. She’s been caught eyeing the new chimps and blowing raspberries from the habitat at them. Eventually, she returns home to DJT, but the boys there are not happy with her for staying out so late.

Torian’s caution influences her eating habits. She waits for all the other chimps to be fed before she’ll come get food. As Samantha describes it, “she’s going to wait until everything is gone before she gets a chance to lick the crumbs off the floor.”
